Dec. 09, 1978
The first women's basketball team was located at Smith College, an all women's school in 1892. After this point, basketball gained popularity at other schools.
Women's basketball started in 1892, one year after the invention of the game. Senda Berenson, a physical education teacher at Smith College, amended some of the rules for women. The first game using her rules was in 1893 when a team of her freshman students played a team of her sophomore students.

The WNBA did not begin until 1997 however, so the first WNBA game was played with an official 28.5 women's basketball.

A basketball with a diameter of 19.5 is considered a Middle school size basketball. The size 6 women's regulation ball is between 28.5 inches.
If you're talking about professional women's basketball, you would have to be on your school's team and a scout would come look at you and sign you. Or, you could play for your community's team and a scout would check you out.
